Scenario:
You setup Samba. You don't want to alter the file/folder's other permissions to be wide-open on the network.
You setup smb.conf to allow specific users (e.g. nicki @mwstaff), and change the shared folder so they have access.
Samba still won't give them permission.
Situation:
When adding new users you did the following:
sudo useradd newuser (newuser = a new user id) - creates new user
sudo smbpasswd -L -a newuser - prompts for newuser's smb password twice to set it
Solution:
However, you need to enable the user:
sudo smbpasswd -L -e newuser - enables the user (this isn't needed on redhat)
Then do a service samba reload or restart. After that you can login.
